Re: One-Off Set#18: You're a Mean one...

I told myself I could break from my hiatus to comment on the comic, and now I'm glad I let myself, because I absolutely love this one. Tiger's gone even further off the deep end than before, making him even more awesome than ever! His neuroses never cease to amuse me.

This is probably one of the more extreme strips so far. Each panel shocked me more than the last. But in a good way! ^.^

The amount of carefree he looks on panel four makes up for anything he just said

Re: One-Off Set#18: You're a Mean one...

This strip probably registers Tiger for a good number of tropes. XDNever thought he was this far gone though... Lol, poor Tiger. (also, I like the brick joke [I'm going to kill you in your sleep])And he looks so happy too! (ok, well in a malevolent sort of way from the 5th panel on, but still)

At any rate, this has been something of a lighter turn for may day after attempting how to lighten up the plot for my next novel (or possibly graphical novel), because it was getting too dark for me to want to create it, to the point I was getting depressed just thinking about it all x_x

I, too, liked the Jim Carrey version. I don't get peoples' issue with it, other than it was weird, but I like weird. Certainly much better than the soulless successor (Mike Meyer as the Cat in the Hat . . . funny in places but disturbing in all the BAD ways, and poorly paced to boot); the Grinch at least had proper atmosphere to it.

Also I'm not a purist when it comes to my entertainment, but that much ought to be obvious

I didn't think the Jim Carrey version was as good as it could have been, but it certainly had potential, and I did appreciate what they were going for.

I didn't even want to SEE the live-action version of The Cat in the Hat based just on the trailers.... I just plain don't like Mike Myers at all.

Okay, who thought it was a good idea to have TIGER singing a Christmas carol?

(I mean in universe, not out of universe.)

To be fair, I've never met carolers who sang The Grinch...

I actually kind've liked the Jim Carrey version.

Personally, I liked The Cat in the Hat mainly since it was funny for me as a child as it was exciting, and it was funny for me as a young adult for its inappropriate humor. It's no children's film (language, sexual references, ect.), but it's funny.

But Grinch was better, I'll agree to that.

Oh, and it's not off-topic to talk about The Grinch because (1) it is related to the subject of the comic and (2) Rick was just talking about it.
